Abstract excerpt
The gene product of MMAA is required for the intracellular metabolism of cobalamin (Cbl). Mutations in this gene lead to the cblA class of disorders, characterized by isolated methylmalonic aciduria. We have been concerned that somatic cell methods of diagnosis may miss patients with mild cellular phenotypes. A high resolution melting analysis (HRMA) assay was developed to rapidly scan the coding exons and...
